LEIGH SALES: Swimmer Nick D'Arcy says he is still a member of the Australian Olympic team despite a court ruling today that he did bring himself into disrepute.

The 20 year-old was axed from the team last month after he allegedly assaulted former swimmer Simon Cowley, living him with serious facial injuries.

Despite today's ruling, the court also found John Coates alone didn't have the power to dump D'Arcy.

D'Arcy believes he may still have a slim chance of competing in Beijing.

NICK D'ARCY, SWIMMER: I am still going to keep training because even if that slim chance gets up, I want to be in the best shape.

LEIGH SALES: The full AOC board is expected to meet within two weeks to decide whether to ratify the original decision to terminate D'Arcy's place on the Olympic team.
